We've been going to Avery to camp and swim at White Pines Lake every year for 3 years now. It's the best place for me to totally unwind as a mother and completely throw myself into photography. We had freak weather in Lake Tahoe area (hail) and in Yosemite (snow) that day. The lake is located in between those two places and all we got was a warm day with a cool breeze and heavy clouds, which made photography a dream.
